EMPTY AND UNSEEING

•─────⋅☾ ☽⋅─────•

She's seen lots of peculiar things during her night patrols as a prefect for three years now but the scene in front of her really takes the cake for most bizarre things Jisoo has seen so far.

Lee Taeyong was still in his robes, but it was ripped by the hem and there was mud splattered all over him. He was shamelessly walking through the castle halls without a single care that he was breaking curfew or that the lower part of his robe was in tatters. There was a chunk of mud smeared on his right cheek and a bold, red gash on his pale hand that even Jisoo could see from where she stood. He looked like he had just killed a creature from the Forbidden Forest, and he most probably did.

Jisoo didn't know if she should check whether he was okay first before giving him detention. The initial sight of him made her stop in his tracks, she stared as he walked with his chin up and his shoulders squared back, not caring about his messed up uniform and the dirt on his face and the blood slowly dripping from his hand. She came back to her senses when he was about to round the corner. "Hey!" She snapped, running after him as he was about to take the stairs that led to the Slytherin dungeons. "Hey, you're not supposed to be - "

She barely managed to enclose her fingers around his wrist when Taeyong whirled around so suddenly. She almost fell backwards to avoid knocking into him. His glare pierced through her tough prefect act and quite frankly, it scared her. She could feel her heart wanting to crawl out of her chest in fear under his sharp, unmerciful eyes.

Taeyong was practically glaring holes into her and he looked absolutely livid. "Don't you dare lay your hands on me, you filthy little mudblood."

Jisoo winced at the ferocity of his voice. He sounded like a feral big cat that was about to jump on its prey. She tried to swallow down her fear and face him with her chin up. "Says the one who looks like they've been rolling around Troll shit all evening." Her eyes skimmed over his tattered robes and it looked worse up close. She wondered what in Merlin had happened to him, but that wasn't really her problem and she doubts he'd appreciate her concern. "I'm going to have to take you to Professor Snape."

He laughed, it was a low and deep sound that came all the way from his stomach and reverberated across the walls. There was something menacing about his laughter that Jisoo didn't like at all. His anger subsides, and his face has gone blank instead. "Yeah? Go ahead, mudblood."

She hated the way he said that word and how he said it to her, she hated the way he was smirking at her, as if taunting her, as if she was amusing to him. Moreover, she felt uncomfortable under his dark eyes. Jisoo knows that she doesn't particularly enjoy his company, but she knows now it was much more than that, she hated him.

"What happened to you?" A familiar voice said from the shadows and Nakamoto Yuta walked out from the darkness of the corridors, his eyes trained on Taeyong but he stopped right next to Jisoo. He had his arms crossed and his eyes were narrowed, he took on a defensive stance.

Taeyong rolled his eyes. "Another mudblood," he mumbled under his breath, Yuta didn't seem to catch that but Jisoo certainly did and it made her want to hex him on the spot. "It's none of your -"
